DAVIE — I had a great time at Old Navy tonight watching Hurricanes players serve as calculator-toting, personal shopping assistants for middle school kids.

The Jason Taylor Foundation held a super charity event at Old Navy (on Univ. Drive near I-595) in which disadvantaged kids were each given $300 to spend in the store on clothes and accessories for school. The best part: each kid got a shopping partner.

The selection available to them included Hurricanes players — Jacory Harris. Brandon Harris, Sean Spence, Aldarius Johnson, Seantrel Henderson, Richard Gordon, Tyler Horn,Spencer Whipple, Allen Hurt, Eduardo Clements and Cory White – dressed in their green jerseys, Ronnie Brown and Will Allen from the Dolphins, former Dolphins players, Dolphins cheerleaders, as well as Alonzo Mourning, James Jones and Zydrunas Ilgauskas.

JT couldn’t be there, so good friend Zach Thomas hosted the event, which was emceed by DJ LAZ.

It was fun watching ‘Canes players walk around and help their kid pick out merchandise while carrying mesh shopping bags for them and a calculator to keep them within budget.

Several players were matched up with a girl. Jacory Harris had a blast with it — much of the time he had on a huge pair of purple-framed sunglasses and a purple necklace with a butterfly medallion. Later, the necklace was gone and a sheer purple scarf was tied around his neck instead.

“It’s a fun experience just coming out here with the kids,” Jacory said. “I met a wonderful person in Felicia and I got her around to pick out some clothes. It made me feel almost like a father.”

Johnson got help from a Dolphins cheerleader when his girl was ready to pick out jewelry. Eventually, they all headed to the checkout lanes, then signed autographs and posed for pics with the kids.

“We found a lot of stuff — some jeans, some cargos, a few shirts, polos,” said Spence, who provided his fashion advice to the boy he shopped with. Besides that, ”We talked about school and how he’s been doing in school.”

As for his teammates who were paired with girls, Spence said with a smile, “Girls are so picky, so it was probably a challenge for them.”

You see athletes do charity events all the time, but you could tell the ‘Canes players who came to this one weren’t just here to make an appearance.

“This isn’t charity to us,” Harris said. “We’re giving back andwant to help out, but at the same time we enjoy being here. So we’re going to show them that we really appreciate them also spending time with us. …There’s nothing better than seeing a smile on somebody’s face.”

Harris said he liked what JT’s foundation was trying to do tonight.

“It is a good idea because it also boosts a kid’s self-esteem and gives them motivation to come to school dressed up nice,” Harris said. “Every kid wants to look nice. They can wear these clothes and remember what we’ve done for them. They’ve done a lot for us, too.”

Well it could be worse fat racist…Virgina Tech could be getting thier asses kicked by Miami of Ohio…you jerk off racist…hilarious that the bigot is down to rooting against teams playing those of the ACC because his cowardly gators are so pathetic.

One thing is for sure…the cowardly gators would never schedule Boise State and would NEVER, EVER PLAY THEM AWAY! LMAO!!!

Please entertain us with how great Pouncey is.

Oh! And repeat how you believe that the strength of this year’s gator team is their offensive line… and you know what…YOU ARE RIGHT!!!

MIAMI OF OHIO…WON 1 GAME LAST YEAR…IT’S HOT…IT’S HUMID…MY HANDS WERE SLIPPERY…LMAO!!!

When the racist speaks of the “blue carpet” is he talking about the ACC school playing the #4 team in the country?

Or is he talking about the ACC school Miami Hurricanes who are traveling to Ohio to play the #2 team in the country?

Gosh, maybe he’s talking about FSU, the ACC school traveling to Oklahoma to play the #7 team in the country.

Of course only a sub-moron would be poking at other teams after the gators should have lost after being pushed all over the septic tank by Miami of Ohio, a division III team that lost every one of their games last year, but one!

PS: After playing those monsters from Miami of Ohio, the brave gators are now taking on that powerhouse USF…of course the only way the gator cowards will play USF is if they’ll play them in the septic tank. LMAO!!!

U realize vt is up at the moment 27=26 right? U realize 2 yrs ago in the sugar bowl utah blew out sec runner up alabama a team florida beat by what 10 that year on way to national title? So before u go putting down teams like boise and utah u might wanna see your gators schedule someone above fcs. or maybe above the mac. If the gators has played boise last week theyd of lost 72-0 lol .

Randy teaches class, honor and service, could not have better role models in the community than the U. Keep up the good work boyz, stay humble, work hard, and thank god every day you are a Cane. Now let’s get us some Suckeyes.

So proud of these kids humbling their Ego’s and giving their time up for these kids. What a sincere gesture of kindness on behalf of all involved. Great job Jason Taylor for a great cause. I see some Canes turning into men before my eyes! And I know this example is a fruit of Randy’s labor to teach these kids how to be men on and off the field. It sure is refreshing to read these articles of Canes giving back instead of being arrested and stealing from others. As a father, I know this would rank high if I was deliberating on which college choice my child was to make. Randy is setting a standard here that will have long lasting benefits. I have faith in Randy as a leader and more will soon agree, that he is the right guy to turn around the way people perceive this University. My Canes will have better results on the field this year, and they certainly are displaying better results already off the field! Great Job all who unselfishly gave to this and many other charities that will not be published. You have made one lifelong Cane Fan Proud today, and many future Cane Fans of tomorrow believers in you as well!
